About the Item

F. L. Kennett, "Degas", original 1950s black and white modernist photograph. Bears the photographer's studio stamps on the reverse. This photograph is unframed. Frederick Leslie Kennett (1924-2012) was a British photographer and sculptor. He studied photography at the Guildford School of Art. Frederick Kenett undertook assignments for museums, publishers, governments and collections throughout the world. He has taken photographs of European Sculpture in Italy, Spain, Germany, Holland and France. From the mid sixties, he ceased work as a photographer of sculpture to become a sculptor himself. He aroused the interest of leading London Galleries and his work was exhibited with much attention. Suddenly he stopped exhibiting but did not stop sculpting. He was prolific in his output, despite the restrictions of a studio flat in Kensington. He exhibited at the Grosvenor Galleries, the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum among others. In 1959 he was commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum to make photographic study of the Cloisters in New York. A few of his remarkable studies of the Parthenon Marbles featured in LIFE magazine. He was the first photographer to be allowed to take photographs in the British Museum.

By Henry Moore
Located in London, GB
Circle of Henry Moore, Bronze Sculpture circa 1960, Signed H. Lurie. Cast at the Morris Singer Foundry in London, which was used extensively by Henry Moore to cast his works between 1961 and 1984. In 1967 the foundry was moved from London to Basingstoke. The stamp 'Morris Singer Founders London' on our sculpture means that it predates this move. Morris Singer is the oldest established fine art foundry in the world and has worked with most of the major sculptors from Thornycroft and Gilbert in the early days to Barbara Hepworth and Jacob Epstein, and many more recent artists like Eduardo Paolozzi, Michael Sandle and Philip Jackson...
